Making the beauty rounds all over the world BB creams finally reached our country! With the BB’s and CC’s creams which actually flooded the Indian market, one is left with a lot of number of options, and high level of confusion! After testing the LAKME’S CC COMPLEXION CREAM (REVIEW HERE) which I have reviewed before, I laid my hands on L’Oreal Paris true match BB Cream.

INGREDIENTS:
MY EXPERIENCE WITH LOREAL PARIS LA CRÈME TRUE MATCH BB SKIN IDEALIZING BB CREAM
Packaged in a beige colour plastic tube with mirror shine golden cap this tube looks no less than a classy affair!
If you try to smell through the tube a weird smell will disturb your nostrils but while applying the BB on my face, I wasn’t able to smell any disturbing fragrance. (Thankfully)
The BB cream has a very soft texture, it is creamy and seems very light on my skin. Instead of blending it I apply the bb cream by dabbing several dots over my face. This way it settles well. As I dotted it all over I felt that this bb actually moisturized the skin. It has nice coverage and my face looked smoother after applying it! I noticed a slight glow as well.
L’Oreal true match BB is light on my skin; it improves the texture of my skin and even tones it as well. It won’t be able to hide under eye circles or any dark pigmentation. (For that after using a concealer one can apply this and finish it off with a compact!)
Without a compact it stays on me for more than 3 hours! That was a great time period for a BB cream!
After three hours I can see a lot of dewiness on my face (actually oil)!
SWATCHES ON MY HAND
THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS ON MY FACE ‘WITHOUT ‘ A PRIMER AND A CONCEALER !!!
TURN ON: LOREAL PARIS LA CRÈME TRUE MATCH BB SKIN IDEALIZING BB CREAM
1) It is light weight!
2) Evens out the skin.
3) Moisturizes my skin well without making it oily.
4) It didn’t break me out!!!!
5) This contains quite High spf, its spf35 🙂
6) Sensitive nose? Rejoice, no weird smell !
TURN OFF: LOREAL PARIS LA CRÈME TRUE MATCH BB SKIN IDEALIZING BB CREAM
1) It is expensive! (I thought it would be less than 500 but when I went to the counter I realized it’s priced at Rs 550!
COSMOCHICS RATING: 4.95/5 (I found my shade but it’s the price which is a little higher for me)
“INFO ON A SILVER PLATTER”- L’oreal paris true match BB cream is able to give a natural flawless skin tone. But if you need to hide darker imperfections/pigmentation then you cannot skip your concealer. For people with already good and healthy skin, be happy as this is an amazing option for you with a longer staying power!

I’ve never really joined the BB craze for some reason, but I’ve been interested in the skin correcting abilities of this cream and it sounds ok – so I may give it a go. Xx

I have had hiccups with BB cream because basically the shades were too light for my skin. Let me head to Loreal counter and see if this brand has a suitable shade for me. I would love to try out because BB cream certainly eliminates the need of applying a few types of skin products and mainly its about time saving.
